Our last day in Tokyo! The group began the day with a choice to visit the famous Tokyo Zoo or travel to the electronic district of Tokyo to visit stores and eat at one of the extremely unique electronic cafes. The Tokyo Zoo was quite an experience for everyone. As we arrived at the gate, we witnessed a large group of 6 year old Japenese children that were on their way into the park which the group instantly fell in love with. Some group members even have more pictures of the children than of the animals in the zoo. The animals were extremely lively and interacting for the duration of our visit, and we were able to see several exhibits that were very different than traditional United State Zoo exhibits. After the zoo we stopped by a local shrine to take pictures, and soon after traveled around this city sector to local specticals. One of the highlights of the day was visiting a very traditional food market that contained some interesting items that, to say the least, would not be found in our local grocery stores such as chicken feet, pig ears, and live frogs. After touring the city for a couple of hours, it was time to say goodbye to our local friends and leave for Thailand. After a 6 hour flight we arrived in Thailand and traveled in vans to the hotel. Soon after arriving, we got fitted for our custom made suits that are currently being made for us by a local tailor. We were able to choose a suit, two shirts, a tie, and an optional vest. After being fitted, the group immediately went to sleep to get some rest before an early flight to the island of Samui in the morning.
